Glanvilles Damant—Emma Lloyd

Firm grows family department with new hire

Glanvilles Damant has strengthened its multi-disciplinary legal support with the appointment of Emma Lloyd as Family Legal Executive. With over two decades of experience in family law, Emma brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to the firm, covering a wide spectrum of family matters including prenuptial agreements, divorce, separation, financial arrangements, and child-related issues.

Emma's longstanding ties to the firm, having previously worked as a receptionist and Legal Secretary at Glanvilles Damant between 1988 and 1995, uniquely positioned her to reinforce the firm’s integrated and collaborative approach. Her strong local connection to the Isle of Wight further enhances her ability to deliver comprehensive legal support to individuals and families across the region.

Managing Partner Raj Sangha said, ‘We are delighted to welcome Emma, whose skills and experience are a perfect fit for the firm. Despite only joining just over three weeks ago, she has already made a strong impression across the fimr.’

Emma said, ‘Having worked previously at the firm, back when it was just Glanvilles, I am delighted to be joining Glanvilles Damant in a real full-circle moment for me. Above all, the firm and I share a common goal: to enhance and grow the family law services we provide to our valued local community.’
